i was wondering the same thing … is it the same person wearing the same jacket with different pants n shoes or two completely different person wearing the same jacket … the latter seems to be unlikely …

The aztec blew up in New York and then all but disappeared. I saw a lot of those gaudy coats around, I agree they’re a bit loud on their own. But it really appealed to a particular culture of kids… and some women.
Funny that sounded odd.http://lordashbury.com

U’re right,it seems much better when used as a layer,especially when ther e is much colour contrast on the print.but it might look good combinated with some other pants maybe…Ä° dunno :) Ä° actually kinda liked both looks

I prefer this type of pattern worn as a layer, as you said this is more subtile. As a standalone, this is too easy and to see it entirely, even if the pattern is beautiful, the outfit becomes unequal, excessive. The patern is not extravagant but to me the outfit needed the black jacket to brins simplicity. Details are better. To show everything is not fun.

I think the “dose” of graphic print should also be in relation with the face. For instance in my case I can not use too much color and figures because I feel that I “dissapear” and people will look at the clothes instead of me…I know its a little woody allen kind of thing but that`s what I think..

I’m unsure about your sentiment. I feel that if you understate the rest of the outfit [like what the first photo did with the khaki pants and simple shoes], the print works well! You just don’t need to overdue it with something so powerful!

Regardless, a great set of photos and I totally want that jacket for myself :)

Why do you think this is so “tough to do as a standalone item”? Ideally a fairly “strong” personality will help to pull it off, but I don’t think a wallflower is going to buy this jacket anyway. The light khakis aren’t right for it; really needs a dark denim to balance it – that’s the only problem I see. Do you think he bought those pants, or had the button feature added later? As a shorter guy, I like that as an option to rolling the cuff or hemming. Oh, don’t generally like seeing something longer sticking out from under a coat (looks like you don’t have the right coat), but this kind of works. Thanks!

These shots are fascinating, the day after i saw this post I took some photos a man walking down the street in downtown los angeles wearing the same coat and outfit. What a small and fast world this is becoming..
